The End of Sacrifice is Here!

My second book editing project is finally finished, on the shelves, and ready to own! Herald Press just released "The End of Sacrifice: The Capital Punishment Writings of John Howard Yoder." Read the news release here. Check it out on Amazon here. Or read my article about the book which gives you a taste of its content here.

This collection is designed to serve the needs of various readers. Those interested in exploring various Christian perspectives on capital punishment will find a robust and coherent position that is certain to enrich their understanding. Those wrestling with macro issues of church and state relations will find a challenging position that will call them to remain steadfast in their faith convictions without remaining silent as to their social implications. Those interested in seasoned and stimulating reflection on hot topics like atonement, divine wrath, the nature of hell, primeval matriarchy, and God’s nature with respect to human freedom will find much to engage in this collection. And don't neglect the essay on God's wrath and love in the appendix. It is not included at the end because it is less important, but because it less directly engages the topic of capital punishment.
